| "Globalization" is one of the most talked-about phenomena, but little information is available on how those who are most involved - the communities and working people affected by globe-trotting corporations - are responding to its challenges. The Maquiladora Reader explores how grassroots activists are facing one of the most important trends in the globalization of production: the proliferation of maquiladoras, the foreign- (mostly U.S.-) owned assembly plants along the Mexico-U.S. border. Through more than two dozen readings culled from a variety of sources, The Maquiladora Reader reveals the determination and creativity of maquiladora workers as they seek to improve their wages and working conditions, protect their communities from health and environmental hazards, and build cross-border relationships with unions, religious groups, community organizations, and others. | |
